Laura Caruso, communication senior, has not had a typical college experience. She has not attended college for four straight years or been ready to graduate, until now.

For lack of better alternatives, most end up just blurting out that they have a cat or like to watch TV. There are some people, though, whose unique answers seem destined for the task. If still a student, Audrey Deterding, assistant professor of communication studies, would be one of those people. “I’d probably say that I have four sisters because it’s something kind of unique, and it would be something that people remember,” Deterding said.

IU Southeast started a new program to help students obtain jobs and track involvement for the future.
